2) If you have not already created the address list, you may click Create to do so now. This
step will allow you to create a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file with a new list of
address records.
If you have an address list that is not registered in LibreOffice, but which you wish to use,
click Add and select the file from the location in which it is saved.
In each of the above cases a new data source will be created and registered.
3) Select the address list and click OK to return to step 3 of the wizard. We retain “Points” as
our address book for this example. The wizard can also exclude certain records; click Filter
to choose them.
Selecting the address block
1) In section 2 (shown in Figure 323), select the address block to appear on the letter, define
its appearance, and choose the fields it contains. The main page gives two choices. Click
More to open the Select Address Block dialog box (Figure 325) for more choices.

2) The Select Address Block dialog box displays the original two blocks plus other choices for
the format of the address block (you may need to scroll down to see all of the choices).
You can also optionally include or exclude the country (for example, only include the
country if it is not England) in the Address block settings. The formats provided are
relatively common, but they might not exactly match your preference. If this is the case,
select the address block that is closest to what you want and click Edit, which opens the
New Address Block dialog box.
3) In the New Address Block dialog box, you can add or delete address elements using the
arrow buttons on the left. To move elements around, use the arrow buttons on the right. For
example, to add an extra space between forename and surname in Figure 326, click
and then click the right arrow button.
